geekymartian··on Poll: long-term contractors, what is your hourly rate?
I don't see any location specification. And today that doesn't matter very much due to telecommuting.
geekymartian··on Apple using moving letters as captcha
The form is actually an iframe without stylesheets thats why has Times New Roman font by default: https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/con...
geekymartian··on I've been rejected from Y Combinator 3 times. Here's why

He did what everybody did at that age and time, a html full of java applets. The article is very poetic. "Fourteen years later, he’s still the the most visible face of the world’s largest social network." meh

Email, Google search, I understand but Youtube, seriously? what can be so bad about it? Google knowing that you're one of the 5 million ppl that viewed psy video clip? Suggestions to what to watch next based on whay you've seen recently?, yes that can be so annoying, I like to browse the entire video library watching 500 videos I don't want to watch to find the right one. IMHO That is just being too paranoid ...
